Watercoloured Flowers using Flower Shop stamp set - ShoppingOur Stash #335

This month, at Shopping Our Stash the challenge is to use water colours.
I coloured these flowers using daubers, waterbased inks, and  water spritzers- water colouring them. See Tutorial on my tutorial blog: here

Flowers:
Each flower was stamped with Versa Mark ink on Whisper White card stock, using the Flower Shop stamp set, and embossed with Black embossing powder.
Because I could not find my Pansy Punch, I fussy cut each flower.
Then using an ink dauber and Marina Mist ink, the outsides of each petal were coloured.  To add contrast, some Night of Navy was sponged along the edges.  Some Daffodil Delight was daubed in the center.
Each petal was spritzed with water, then dried with a heat tool, after which they were shaped, had 3D Crystal Lacquer and Dazzling Diamonds applied, and set aside to dry.

After they were dry, a small Faceted gem was added to the center of each flower.


Leaves:
The leaves were punched with the Leaf Punch using Whisper White card stock.  Old Olive was applied to the leaves and stems, followed by Always Artichoke.  They  were then spritzed with water, dried, shaped, and each leaf folded in half lengthwise and the fold sponged with Always Artichoke.

The card base is Soft Sky, layered with Whisper White card stock embossed with the Petal Burst embossing folder.

In the center is a strip of  Petal Garden DSP which has a strip of Soft Sky card stock punched with the Decorative Ribbon punch on each side.

The flowers and leaf stems were added to the center strip using a hot glue gun.

The sentiment is from Vertical Greetings.
